Anybody notice how the Times (nad most other newspapers) kept on talking about the Lieberman race . . . almost never mentioning Lamont’s name in the headline.
And despite the press’s right-wing bias, Lieberman still lost.
Heh. Good to see the Democrats are finally getting some balls and putting real candidates forward.
What other situations have you recently noticed that are winning popular support, despite press bias (either left or right, there is both)?
Very few, also, which way does that area usually vote?
I’m not sure that large national issues can be unbiased until our political system becomes unbiased. Bipartisan propagandizing and the necessity to issue left/right, liberal/conservative, democrat/republican labels has created a media machine that operates on bias. I do believe on a small level (perhaps city or county) there appears less bias and I also believe that unbiased people abound but cannot be easily expressed through our current system.
